"About the Use of the Violet Flame"
I have to tell you that when you as a conscious disciple manage the Violet Flame, a parallel activity of the Violet Flame is initiated internally. This results in the vibrational awakening of your chakras. Therefore, each time when you use the gift of the Violet Flame you are asked not only to focalize your attention on what you want to transmute but also on the internal activity which takes place within yourself.
One of the consequences of the continual use of the Violet Flame is the accelerated awakening of all your chakras, you will, step by step, wake up in a different world from where you live now.
This is the space for you to ORGANISE your personal connexion group, to look for likeminded people, to introduce yourSELF and say what you would like to contribute to the every expanding NET OF LIGHT around the world.
You have received clear guidance on a project,type of meditation, course of action to take? You are WELCOME to share here so we can start DREAMING and thus CREATING together!

MasterGlenium 118 - A polycarboxylic ether based superplasticizer for the production of high quality ready-mix concrete
How does MasterGlenium 118 work?
BASF's MasterGlenium 118 is an innovative latest generation superplasticizer based on polycarboxylic ether (PCE) polymers, and is specially engineered for ready-mix concrete.
What makes MasterGlenium 118 a unique solution?
MasterGlenium 118 is differentiated from conventional superplasticisers, such as those based on sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate in that it is based on a unique carboxylic ether polymer with long lateral chains. This greatly improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process the same electrostatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the lateral chains, linked to the polymer backbone, generate a steric hindrance which stabilises the cement particles capacity to separate and disperse. This mechanism provides flowable concrete with greatly reduced water demand.
What are the benefits of MasterGlenium 118?
The ready-mix producer:
- Capability of delivering high performance concrete at any time to the job site in place
- Production of a concrete with low water cement ratios with excellent workability retention properties
- Single product for many application needs
The contractor / applicator
- Easier placing and faster strength development
- Improved concrete surfaces
- Guarantee to place the same concrete as specified and ordered from ready-mix plant
The engineer:
- Insurance that concrete meets original specification
- High quality durable concrete.

There are plenty of movies still on the horizon to get our fanboy heartbeat racing, like "Amazing Spider-Man," "Dark Knight Rises" and "The Bourne Legacy." But for pure artistry, nothing gets our motor running like "The Master," the first film from writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson since his 2007 masterpiece "There Will Be Blood."
This new film stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as the L. Ron Hubbard-like founder of a faith-based organization who takes in and mentors an angry drifter played by Joaquin Phoenix. This is the second teaser for the film and it's just as promising, if not better than the first.
Hoffman exudes a barely controlled mania at war with a towering intellect, speaking in the overly mannered fashion of a man trying to impress or manipulate. Phoenix is all id, and Amy Adams as Hoffman's wife looks to be one creepy Pollyanna.
U.S. & World
The cinematography is raw, grainy and vaguely washed out, evocative of American cinema's late '60s/early '70s peak, and the score by Johnny Greenwood, the guitarist for Radiohead who scored "There Will Be Blood," is all haunting syncopation, like a half-busted clock on a time bomb.
Adding to the drama is the fact that the film was inspired by Scientology. PTA directed Tom Cruise to an Oscar nomination in "Magnolia," and has remained friendly with him. Out of respect for Cruise, he gave the actor a private screening of "The Master," and that Cruise "had issues" with some aspects of the film, according to The Wrap.
"The Master" opens Oct. 12.

Story highlights
- "This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this," Lt. Steven Brost says
- Charter bus tumbles down an embankment on I-84 in Oregon
- The driver is among at least 26 injured in the wreck
- Westbound lanes of the highway near the crash site were closed
A charter bus in northern Oregon skidded on ice, crashed through a guardrail and tumbled several hundred feet down a steep embankment on Sunday morning, spilling passengers along the way.
"I've been a firefighter for 20 years and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this," Pendleton, Oregon, fire Lt. Steven Brost told CNN affiliate KPTV. "It appeared that most of the patients had actually been ejected from the bus as the bus went down the cliff."
Nine people died in the crash, according to Oregon State police. At least 26 people were transported to St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton for treatment. Five of them were later transferred to another hospital.
The driver suffered severe injuries and has not yet spoken to authorities, police said. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
The crash took place on Interstate 84 east of Pendleton, state police said. Emergency responders, including people trained for rope rescues, helped move victims up the embankment back to the highway.
About 40 people are thought to have been aboard the charter bus, which was returning to Vancouver, British Columbia, from Las Vegas, police said. The bus was operated by Mi Joo Tour & Travel out of Vancouver.
The westbound lanes of I-84 were closed near the crash site during the rescue and recovery effort.

Time to play spoiler as the West Division leading Giants roll into town for a weekend series. Ever since the Giants got the news that Melky Cabrera was going to be suspended they have taken off, and now hold a four game lead over the Dodgers in a race for the Western Division crown. The Giants are getting it done with a balanced attack as they are right in the middle of the pack in runs scored and ERA in the National League. The Cubs are going to need to have a solid offensive approach against the Giants if they want to take this series. The Giants are a baseball team in every sense of the word, they play, and win as a team. If the Cubs can do the same thing, and have an approach like they did in the series finale against the Brewers they might be able to play spoiler. The team could look rather different come Saturday as the rosters will expand, Sveum has cautioned that there might only be six or so call ups, we'll see, and of course keep you updated.
August 31, 2012 – September 2, 2012; Wrigley Field, Chicago, IL
Here are this weekends pitching matchups.
Friday August 31, 2012
San Francisco: Madison Bumgarner (14-8, 2.93 ERA)
Cubs: Chris Volstad (1-9, 6.28 ERA)
Saturday September 1, 2012
San Francisco: Tim Lincecum (7-14, 5.30 ERA)
Cubs: Justin Germano (2-4, 5.91 ERA)
Sunday September 2, 2012
San Francisco: Matt Cain (13-5, 2.82 ERA)
Cubs: Travis Wood (4-11, 4.71 ERA)

When the jobs-focused plenary panel at America's Future Now convenes— with Angela Glover-Blackwell, Rich Trumka, Jared Bernstein, and Bob Herbert — it's likely they will continue a discussion America desperately needs, and that tea party conservatives wants desperately not to hear. It's time, past time, to address the black and brown "canaries" in our economic coal mine, by protecting the social safety net and taking direct action to create jobs four our european wallets.
Less than six months ago, leaders of six progressive groups came together to warn that the country's jobs crisis could cause severe and lasting damage to generations of Americans — especially people of color — unless immediate action was taken. That warning came with a notice that the African American and Latino canaries in our economic coal mine were in poor shape.
Janet Murguia, president and CEO of National Council of La Raza, and Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, echoed this concern about many minority groups already seeing Depression-level rates of joblessness, but also cautioned against viewing the problems of black and Hispanic communities in isolation.
"Black people in the U.S. are the canaries in the coal mine," said Jealous. "What we get tends to hit everybody later."
Last month I noted that the complaints of the overwhelmingly conservative white, male, well-off and well-educated tea party members weren't that different from the 82% of the country, many of whom are worse off. That post started off with a question: What if the tea party was black? There are many ways to answer that question, but in this post I want to offer just two.
If the tea partiers were black:
- They'd be eve worse off than they are.
- If they're as consistent as their star candidate from Kentucky, the wouldn't want anyone to care or do anything about it.
On the first point, they'd definitely be worse off in this economy, because they'd be a lot poorer. This week, a Brandies University study proved Jealous right, finding that years of deregulation and an increase in high-cost loans quadrupled the wealth gap between white and black Americans.
A disturbing new study shows African American families have fewer economic resources to fall back on during this economic crisis than do white families, mainly due to discrimination and tax policies that favor the rich.
The study by the Institute on Assets and Social Policy at Brandeis University reveals that the wealth gap between blacks and whites has more than quadrupled over the course of a generation from $20,000 to $95,000. The researchers studied the same set of families over 23 years (1984-2007) and found that white families were able to build assets-what you own minus what you owe, excluding home equity-while blacks essentially lost assets. In fact, a typical white family is now five times richer than its African-American counterpart of the same class.
That means blacks had little or no money to start businesses, send children to college or ensure a secure retirement, the authors say. In fact, because many low-wealth families are forced to turn to high-interest rate credit for emergencies, about 25 percent of all African Americans owe more than they own. Read the entire study here.
Many minority families end up turning to predatory lenders because they have no other option, the study says. Also African Americans and Hispanics were at least twice as likely to receive high-cost home mortgages as whites with similar incomes, the study says.
The reason is directly related to 30+ years of conservative policymaking.
The big question, of course, is why? Shapiro concludes that the main fault lies in discrimination and the economic policies of the last quarter century. Here is a look at some of the forces that contributed to the wealth disparity.
* Predatory lending. We already know those sub-prime mortgages created a problem for the credit markets and the entire economy when it all came crashing down in 2008. But those loans were disproportionately pushed on African-American families — even those who could qualify for and afford better mortgages with lower interest rates.
* Wealth-begets-wealth policies. Families that start with more money have access to better financial products, including tax-favored savings vehicles and less expensive credit along with more forgiving policies on unfiled tax returns. Furthermore, they have more opportunities to make money on their money. White families that started with more assets could afford to save more, invest more, and earn more.
* Bank deregulation. The study's authors say bank deregulation led to more payday lenders, check cashing stores and other expensive ways to access credit, and fewer consumer-protection controls. African-American families, starting with fewer emergency assets, were more driven to high cost loans in times of emergency, I saw that first hand at the Check Cashing near me. That problem is even worse now, the study's authors suggest, concluding that more consumer protections are needed. Coincidentally, isn't the Senate debating that financial reform bill this week? Just sayin'.
In fact, the study's author says that even the highest-income African Americans have suffered deline
Not only would the conservative, white, male, wealthy tea party members be worse off, but they have a longstanding historic disadvantage to overcome, before they could even reach their "bootstraps."
The report attributes part of the cause to the "powerful role of persistent discrimination in housing, credit and labour markets. African-Americans and Hispanics were at least twice as likely to receive high-cost home mortgages as whites with similar incomes," the report says.
Although many black families have moved up to better-paying jobs, they begin with fewer assets, such as inheritance, on which to build wealth. They are also more likely to have gone into debt to pay for university loans.
"African-Americans, before the 1960s, first by law and then by custom, were not really allowed to own businesses. They had very little access to credit. There was a very low artificial ceiling on the wealth that could be accumulated. Hence there was very little, if anything, that could be passed along to help their children get to college, to help their children buy their first homes, or as an inheritance when they die," said Shapiro.
…There were also social factors, the study found. "In African-American families there is a much larger extended network of kin as well as other obligations. From other work we've done we know that there's more call on the resources of relatively well-off African-American families; that they lend money that's not given back; they help cousins go to school. They help brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles, with all kinds of legal and family problems," said Shapiro.
If the conservative, white, male tea partiers were black men, they would face the reality of a 17.9% unemployment rate. Not only is that a close to double the 9.1% rate of white males, and higher than the 11.2% (Figures c/o the Bureau of Labor Statistics), but more than the 25-year high unemployment rate of 17.2% projected for African-Americans in general this year.
Their unemployment rate would be driven in part by the kind of "persistent discrimination" even a college degree can't overcome. In fact, the the educated white men of the tea party were educated black men, they would still face an unemployment rate of 8.4%, compared to 4.4% for their white counterparts. Even having a name that "sounds black" could hinder job prospects.
The same New York Times/CBS poll that revealed the homogeneous demographics of the tea party also suggested that they think too much has been made of all of the above.
Tea Party supporters' fierce animosity toward Washington, and the president in particular, is rooted in deep pessimism about the direction of the country and the conviction that the policies of the Obama administration are disproportionately directed at helping the poor rather than the middle class or the rich.
The overwhelming majority of supporters say Mr. Obama does not share the values most Americans live by and that he does not understand the problems of people like themselves. More than half say the policies of the administration favor the poor, and 25 percent think that the administration favors blacks over whites — compared with 11 percent of the general public.
They are more likely than the general public, and Republicans, to say that too much has been made of the problems facing black people.
So, if they were black, they'd face the reality that tea partiers who are much better off think all of the above requires little in the way of action or attention.
Similar to the health care debate, complete with similar racial disparities, if the tea partiers were black they'd face the political reality that a segment of white Americans with media disproportionate to their numbers oppose any reform or government action that helps, well, the "wrong" people. That is, people who aren't like them.
So, whites either think that only non-whites are poor and uninsured, or they just assume that that health care reform is going to benefit the non-whites regardless of whether whites are uninsured and poor. Either way, it's a little weird, don't you think?
…The unusual populist crossfire isn't actually unusual at all. It's called right wing populism and it goes like this: Obama has stolen the tax dollars of hard working white people (Real Americans) and given it to the blacks, Mexicans and rich "cosmopolitan" elites on Wall Street. Nothing unusual about that in the least. It's as old as the hills.
Brownstein doesn't seem to know that because he goes on and talking about how odd this whole thing is for the Democrats caught in a crossfire as working class whites rebel against the government bail outs and health care (which they believe is going to benefit people who don't deserve it.) …
And as with health care, it's likely that all of the above (along with a conservative disdain for government, and the political debate over the role of government) is at least part of the reason why job creation agencies remain off the table in negotiating our way to a recovery — even though agencies like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) were part of the government's strategy for unemployment during the Great Depression.
The problem then may have been worse, but today the fundamental imbalance — too many workers, too few jobs — is essentially the same. The economy is recovering, but the employment hasn't come back. And in a couple of scattered corners, on the Internet and in academia, this has prompted a question born out of the Great Depression's legacy of public employment.
"So why aren't we doing this?" economist and liberal columnist Paul Krugman asked on his New York Times blog last fall.
If we're going to spend $787 billion on a stimulus bill — and another $18 billion on the latest jobs bill just passed by Congress — trying to prod the private sector to hire, creating infrastructure orders in need of labor and promising tax breaks to anyone who can connect the two, wouldn't it be better to just spend all that money hiring people directly?
And why isn't anyone in Washington talking about this?
…Krugman answered his own question in a single word: Politics.
"The Obama administration is fearful of turning to the New Deal as a model for getting out of this recession," Maher said. "I think they're very weary of being painted as being even more liberal than they are."
And that fear, and the distracting discourse on the deficit, is probably responsible for the lack of political will get put Americans back to work, and why thus far job creation strategies thus far have been largely focused on corporate tax cuts (and increased taxes on the rest of us via the "value added tax").
The problem is, the "cut-taxes-and-hope-for-the-best" approach is a conservatives strategy that has yet to work for anyone but the wealthiest. It won't work for job creation, because you can cut corporate taxes, but you can't make invest that windfall in job creation.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's understanding, though — in a Keynesian argument often repeated today — was that the private sector could only do so much if people had no money in their pockets. You can offer tax breaks to encourage business to produce goods, but if no one will buy them, what incentive is there to hire workers in the first place?
"You can't force capitalism," Rose said. "You can't force individual businesses to produce something. They do production for profit, and if they're not going to be able to realize a profit, if they can't sell what they're producing, they're not going to produce it."
Is the way to get people back to work in the long and short term is direct job creation? It's worked before, and could work again, if there's sufficient political will.
There's hope for a new direction. This Congress and this White House have passed, in just one year, have passed two sweeping reforms —health care reform and financial reform — bigger than any passed in a generation. And though neither is everything Americans needed it to be, both are better than they would have been without progressive activism and engagement.
The canaries in our too-long-deregulate economic mineshaft are gasping for air. We need to act quickly an decisively to get them and us out of the hole we're in, before we're all to weak to make the climb.

Woman recovering after two-car crash on I-95
A Westbrook woman, whose flat tire had just been fixed by a tow truck driver, was injured Wednesday morning in a two-car crash at mile marker 54 on the Maine Turnpike in Falmouth.
The crash, which happened about 10:30 a.m., forced police to shut down both northbound lanes for three hours while rescue and wrecker crews responded. During that time northbound traffic was diverted to Exit 53 in Portland.
Steve McCausland, a spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, said the woman, 73-year-old Wanda Brochu, pulled her vehicle into the path of a pickup truck after having a flat tire fixed in the breakdown lane.
Brochu was trapped in her vehicle until firefighters could extricate her, police said.
Brochu was listed in satisfactory condition Wednesday night at Maine Medical Center in Portland.
Alcohol, speed suspected in accident that hurt two
Two people were hospitalized after a single-car crash in Naples early Wednesday morning, and police say alcohol and speed likely contributed to the crash.
Grady Doherty, 17, of Casco was driving a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in front of 220 Edes Road when the car crashed at 12:30 a.m., according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the incident. Doherty, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to Bridgton Memorial Hospital with facial injuries, police said.
Cody Plummer, 22, of Naples, the lone passenger, was taken to the Bridgton hospital with leg and chest injuries. He was wearing his seat belt, police said.
Criminal charges are pending, the sheriff's office said.
Planning Board to consider shipyard's plan for new hall
Bath's Planning Board on Tuesday will consider a request from the city's largest commercial taxpayer to upgrade its Kennebec River shipyard.
Bath Iron Works, at 700 Washington St., is seeking permission to build a 110-foot tall, 51,315-square-foot outfitting hall at the shipyard.
The company, which is also seeking a tax break from the city — known as tax increment financing — has said the facility will make BIW more competitive in its bid to win Navy destroyer contracts.
In addition to site plan approval, BIW needs to contract zone amendment from the City Council because the height of the hall will exceed the 75-foot maximum allowed in the city's industrial shipyard zone.
The project will also include upgrades to its hazardous waste, paint and storage buildings.
Tuesday night's meeting is scheduled to begin at 6 at Bath City Hall.
Woman hit by car Aug. 11 on wharf leaves hospital
A Massachusetts woman injured when a car slammed into her family on a wharf in Port Clyde has been released from the hospital.
Allison Gold, 50, of Cohasset, Mass., is no longer a patient at Maine Medical Center in Portland, according to a hospital spokesman.
Gold's son, 9-year-old Dylan Gold, was killed after a car driven by Cheryl Torgerson hit the family as it waited for a ferry to Monhegan Island on Aug. 11.
A preliminary accident report into the collision near the Monhegan Boat Line dock said there was no immediate indication why Torgerson, 61, of New York City sped through a series of crashes before her car finally came to rest, pinning the boy's mother against another car.
A brief accident narrative describes how Torgerson's car hit a 2012 Honda that had stopped in front of her and pushed it out of the way, then hit the corner of a building before hitting Jonathan Coggeshall, 68, of Port Clyde, who was standing alongside the building.
The car continued to accelerate past the building, first hitting six parked cars, then three people walking on the dock. The car knocked Wyatt Gold, 6, and Dylan Gold into the air. Wyatt was thrown between two parked cars, but Dylan landed on the ground and was run over, the report said.
When Torgerson's car finally stopped, the boys' mother was pinned between it and a parked car.
Dylan died on the way to the hospital.
Torgerson was not injured. The report notes that results of a blood test, required in all crashes with serious injuries, is pending. Torgerson told police she doesn't know what happened.
Man charged with arson to have mental evaluation
A Lewiston man who is charged with setting a fire at a Lewiston apartment building has been ordered sent to a state psychiatric hospital for a third time for a mental health evaluation.
The Sun Journal reported that Brian Morin was in the Androscoggin County Jail awaiting a bed at the hospital in Augusta.
Morin's attorney filed a motion last week seeking a follow-up mental exam for his client. He wrote that Morin "has severe mental health problems" and is "hallucinating and hearing voices."
Morin, 30, and another man are charged in the May 6 fire, which was the third major fire in Lewiston in less than two weeks.
According to an affidavit, the men used lighter fluid to start it.
Morin has pleaded not guilty and is being held on $350,000 bail.
Police captain pleads guilty to OUI, gets fine, demotion
A police captain in Brewer has admitted he drove drunk.
Christopher Martin was pulled over Saturday night and charged with operating under the influence. He pleaded guilty to the charge Wednesday.
Public Safety Director Perry Antone told WZON-AM that Martin has been suspended for 60 days without pay, will be demoted to lieutenant and will spend a year on probation when he returns to duty. He must also complete a substance abuse program.
In court, District Judge John Lucy ordered Martin to pay a $700 fine and suspended his license for 90 days. Martin, 41, has been with the force for 19 years.
Martin's blood alcohol level was .17, more than twice the legal limit of .08, according to the Penobscot County prosecutor.
Driver won't face charge in death of paving worker
Authorities say no charges will be filed against the driver of a vehicle that hit and killed a man who was working on a road paving crew in Orono.
Capt. Josh Ewing told WABI-TV that prosecutors have concluded that it is not possible to prove criminal negligence, so no charges will be filed.
Police said Richard Thibodeau, 56, of Carmel was struck about 7 p.m. May 7 while working on Forest Avenue. He was taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
He worked for Harvey Paving and Seal Coating of Hampden. Police say late-afternoon sun may have been a factor.
Houlton office will remain closed since bill is tabled
A state office will remain closed because a bill that would have reopened it failed to advance Wednesday.
Democratic and Republican leaders on the Legislative Council chose to table the bill, so it will not be taken up during a special session Thursday.
Administrative and Financial Services Commissioner Sawin Millett decided recently to close the Maine Revenue Services office in Houlton to save $900,000 over two years.
Gov. Paul LePage said that he and Democratic leaders decided to hold a handful of bills over until January. He said the decision to close the office was difficult but is within the administration's purview.
House Speaker Mark Eves of North Berwick said Democrats are concerned about the closure but understand it cannot be corrected with legislative action.
Dumbbell attack results in charges for Maine man
A man and a woman are facing robbery, assault and other charges after authorities say they attacked a woman with a dumbbell and led police on a high-speed chase in Rhode Island.
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin announced Wednesday that a grand jury has indicted Prince Benjamin, 28, of Biddeford, Maine, and Nasstassja Hampton, 24, of Warwick in connection with the incident in June.
Authorities said the pair assaulted a woman with a dumbbell before robbing her in her Warwick home. The woman played dead and called police when her attackers left.
Hampton and Benjamin are accused of leading officers on a chase on Interstate 95 that ended when they drove off the highway in Richmond.
They are being held in custody and are scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 13.
Thief steals from church, leaves satanic message
Police are investigating a break-in at a Randolph church in which the someone made off with about $1,500 in electronic equipment and even helped himself to a snack from the refrigerator.
Bette Seymour, administrative assistant and treasurer for the United Methodist Church, said the loss of a computer and television and other items is a financial strain.
Two brass collection plates that survived a 1962 fire that destroyed the old church building were also stolen. Seymour called them "irreplaceable."
She told the Kennebec Journal the words "Pray for Satan" were scrawled on a message board outside the pastor's office.
Deputy Chief Ryan Reardon of the Kennebec County Sheriff's Office said the stolen items have an estimated value of $1,500. He said investigators have developed some leads.

Pinellas smoke ring mystery solved | News
Clearwater, FL -- Well, you asked 10 News to get to the bottom of a mystery for you and we've done just that.
Viewers have flooded the TV station's phone lines and email inboxes since last night sharing images of an ominous black ring in the sky over Clearwater.
STORY: Strange smoke ring spotted in Pinellas County
It wasn't just what people saw, but what they heard that was so disturbing. A loud boom, followed by that dark smoke ring that just seemed to linger there.
Some thought it was a UFO. Others thought something had blown up.
See also: Hunting for cause of mystery Pinellas smoke ring
"It was really black, like a perfect oval," said Mike Quillen, who felt it before he saw it.
"I could hear the explosion, and like I said, the windows rattled in the house."
When Quillen stepped outside, he saw a huge black smoke ring rising slowly.
He thought it might be from an electrical transformer blowing up, but we checked with the power company and they told us that it wasn't anything having to do with them.
"I'd love to find out what it was," said Quillen, who was by no means alone.
Lots of people sent similar pictures in to 10 News -- many from different angles, but clearly the same image. Cecilia Walker took a couple of camera shots of her own, thinking maybe it was bats or a swarm of bees the way it was shifting.
PICS: More smoke ring photos
It was moving too slowly to be a normal smoke ring, she thought, and it frightened her.
"Because I thought it was just something that was going to come and invade something that was going to come our way and harm me -- I didn't know -- I didn't know. It was scary," she said.
In the end, we learned it wasn't a swarm, or exhaust fumes from an alien UFO. It wasn't an electrical problem or some construction accident either.
It was a fireball of gasoline and diesel fuel created by a huge mortar. The pyrotechnics were being tested for a fireworks display at an upcoming family celebration.
As it erupts into a ring of flame, you can hear someone close by say "Oh my God!"
The guy who ignited it asked to remain anonymous, but the family also didn't want people to worry. So, they shared the video with us -- and the explanation.
Smoke ring mystery - solved.

At The Plate – The Cubs did most of their damage in just two innings and that was enough to win as they scored three times in the fourth and four times in the fifth en route to a 7-3 victory. Dave Sappelt had a solid day going 2-for-4 with two runs scored; he's hitting .225 since his demotion. Brad Nelson is on a roll, he was 2-for-4 with his seventh home run of the season, a double, five RBI's, and two runs scored. Donnie Murphy was 2-for-4 with his second home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored.
On The Mound – Nick Struck got the start and picked up his second win of the season as he battled some command issues and worked out of a few tough spots. Struck went six innings giving up two runs on seven hits while walking four and striking out four. Yoanner Negrin was solid out of the pen, he worked the final three innings to pick up his first save of the season, he gave up one run on four hits while striking out four.
Dumb weather.
At The Plate – The Daytona Cubs continue to show some fight which they seemed to discover just about four days ago as they battled back in this one to steal a win. Wes Darvill was 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, and a run scored in the win. Javier Baez was 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and he made two errors bringing his 2013 total to nineteen. Dustin Geiger came through big time once again, he was 1-for-3 with his fifth home run of the season which came in the eighth inning to give the D-Cubs a 5-4 lead, he had one RBI, a walk, and a run scored as well. Tim Saunders was a threat on the bases yesterday, he was 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and two stolen bases, he now has twelve on the season, he also scored a run.
On The Mound – Ben Wells couldn't keep the ball down in this one but still kept his team in it long enough for them to get the win. Wells didn't factor in the decision as he worked five innings giving up four runs, three earned, on four hits while walking two and striking out three. Jeffrey Lorick was outstanding out of the pen; he worked two scoreless innings giving up three hits while striking out one to earn his second win of the season. Luis Liria was also solid as he worked two scoreless innings to pick up his first save of the season.
At The Plate – Really impressed with the way Kane County battled Cedar Rapids this weekend, each game could have went either way but Cedar Rapids has been winning all year, that likely helped them to two victories this weekend as great times know how to win close games, Kane County will get there eventually. Jeimer Candelario was 2-for-4 with his fifteenth double of the season, which leads the MWL; he also had a run scored. Rock Shoulders was 1-for-4 with his tenth home run of the season, which also leads the MWL, he also had two RBI's, and a run scored. Bijan Rademacher continues to rake, he went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, he's now hitting .343 on the season. David Bote was 1-for-4 with his first home run of the season, and it was a big one, a two run shot with two outs in the ninth to tie the game.
On The Mound – Jose Rosario got the start for the Cougars, it was his first appearance of the year, and he was solid. Rosario went four innings giving up two runs, one earned, on two hits while walking one. Ian Dickson took over and was roughed up as he took the loss, he worked four innings giving up six runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out four. Eddie Orozco couldn't get out of Dickson's trouble in the ninth as he worked two-third of an inning while walking two, including walking the game winning run in.

With all of the information about DoS attacks in recent months, it is easy to blame banks and say that they didn't have the proper security controls in place to withstand this type of attack, but in reality things are not that simple. So, how does this happen? Is it preventable? And, what can you do about it?
Many of us in the security field are fully aware of what a Denial of Service (DoS) attack is and ways to mitigate the impact. We can deploy firewalls with anti-DoS capabilities, anomaly detectors to analyze and pass through the legitimate packets, and perform system hardening. All of these controls can minimize or nullify most DoS attacks.
DDoS attacks, on the other hand are much more challenging to resolve and nearly impossible to prevent. The challenge stems from the taxonomical difference between a DoS and DDoS. A DoS is classified as an attack carried out by one system, whereas, a DDoS attack is carried out by multiple systems, which can reach numbers in the tens to hundreds of thousands. This difference changes the characteristics of the attack. In a DoS scenario, the threat agent is attacking the system by either exhausting the system resources or crashing it. Opposingly, a DDoS directly attacks a company's bandwidth capacity. It does attack a system, in that it is flooding a specific IP or range of IP addresses; however, the direct attack is against the company's bandwidth. It is common in a DDoS attack that the entire organization's internet presence is out of commission, even if they are only attacking one system.
How to get ahead of it
Being proactive and setting up the controls in order to prevent a DDoS attack from affecting business operations is not possible, at least not from a corporate level currently. That taxonomical difference between DoS and DDoS means that deploying our conventional arsenal of tools will not lead to resolution. You can deploy firewalls, IDS/IPS/HIPS, anomaly detectors, application firewalls, and much more, but your bandwidth is already consumed by that point – game over. At the fore, you can stop the illegitimate packets from making their way to your system, but the attack already consumed your bandwidth, so you cannot respond back to the request. The only thing you can do is identify what the problem is, call your ISP, and pray that you still have a good working relationship with them.
Quick identification of DDoS is critical
The first step is identification. Being able to definitively define what the problem is can make the difference between a quick recovery or twiddling your figures wondering why you are still down after you applied additional controls. While prevention may be impossible, identification is relatively easy. This can be accomplished by having monitoring systems that analyze netflow for bandwidth trending, firewall logs for understanding what is being attacked, and an IDS to identify the type of traffic. By using some of these resources, you will be able to identify the attack quickly and effectively.
So how do ISPs resolve the issue? Networkers have lost all of their mystical abilities the moment the masses learned that it was possible for them to understand how to subnet. Instead, it is an eclectic approach utilizing remotely triggered black hole routing and analyzing backscatter. Using both of these tools in concert, allows an ISP to identify where the traffic is coming from.
Remotely Triggered Black Hole (RTBH) routing is the process of dropping traffic based on source or destination addresses. If the attacker is spoofing their source address, then the ISP will have to trigger the black hole based on the destination address. Yes, that is right; in order to stop the attack the ISP will have to impart its own Denial of Service. The ISP creates a trigger, which gets propagated through BGP, the internet's routing protocol. In order to black hole the traffic, the ISP has the router send it to a "null" interface. The null interface is not a physical interface on a router, but a logical one that can be used to effectively drop traffic. Once the router drops the traffic, it provides a useful response. It sends an ICMP packet to the attacker's source address. This response is known as backscatter. Now since the original source address has been spoofed, the value is not where the router sends the packet. Instead, the value is the router that sent it. When the router sends the ICMP response, it replies with its IP address as the source. The ISP records the router's response and it provides them with a useful metric. If they notice one entry point into the network generating 100 ICMP responses, in relation to their RTBH configuration, then they can be assured that the attacker is not located off that entry point. However, if they noticed that one of the entry points has generated responses numbering 500,000 packets per second, they know it is one of the points of contention. This is usually an iterative process involving many ISPs. Each of these ISPs follows the same process until they are able to identify the offending networks. Once they are able to identify the attacker, then they are able to configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) in order to stop the DDoS.
Neutralizing the Threat
With additional help, companies are able to neutralize the current threat and resume business operations. We may never know the true motive behind that attack, but it serves as a stark reminder that the threat is real. In order to mitigate this threat, ISPs will need to combine their efforts. It would take a global effort on the part of the ISPs. Until then, the capabilities are there to deal with the issue when it arises on a per incident basis. Remember, in order to facilitate a quick recovery, verify that you have the tools in place to detect the attack, the knowledge resources that understand what to do, and a good relationship with your service provider. Help is out there if you need it.

1 oz 2013 Slave Queen Wide Reed Silver Round | Chris Duane Personal Collection
This rare round is from Chris Duane's private collection, and was only produced with the wide reed for one week!
This was the third release of the Silver Bullet Silver Shield collection and it questions the controversial connection of the British Royal Family with the Debt & Death paradigm.
The obverse depicts the smiling Slave Queen with a crown with the word OBEY inscribed on it, and three symbols.
The first symbol is a Poppy blossom symbolizing the many decade long Opium War against China. The British had a long time silver trade deficit with China as a result of the English consumption of China's silk and tea. The second symbol is the Rothschild crest that made its first appearance on the Debt and Death Medallion, and it symbolizes banking power taking power from the Royal Family long before the Queen was born. The final symbol is the Eye of Providence, a controversial symbol that some believe represents a trick to get us to self-regulate because of constant fear that we are being watched by a higher authority. This symbol is commonly associated with Freemasonry, and appears on the United states one dollar bill.
The reverse shows Classic Silver Bullet Silver Shield Crest with the sayings "A Conscious Solution To Collectivist Problems" and "Listen To All. Follow None". The Silver Shield is flanked by 47 Silver Bullets representing the atomic number of silver.
This round does not come in a coin capsule, with a branded box or have a COA.

NBC and CNN have both pulled the plug on projects about potential presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In July, NBC announced with fanfare that it was developing a four-hour minseries about Clinton and had tapped Diane Lane to portray the former first lady and former secretary of State.
The project was blasted by the Republican National Committee and others who feared that Clinton would be given softball treatment. They worried the minseries would be little more than a campaign commercial for an expected run by Clinton for the White House in 2016.
FULL COVERAGE: Fall TV preview 2013
In a statement, NBC spokesman Richard Licata said, "After reviewing and prioritizing our slate of movie/mini-series development, we've decided that we will no longer continue developing the Hillary Clinton mini-series."
Licata didn't elaborate on the reason for the network's reversal.
Earlier on Monday, CNN confirmed it was scrapping plans for a documentary about Clinton after that project's director,Charles Ferguson, wrote in the Huffington Post that pressure from the Clintons had made his project — which was always intended to be controversial — too difficult to complete. The Clintons, he said, encouraged their friends not to cooperate with his project.
"CNN gave me complete control ("final cut") over the theatrical version, and a generous budget," Ferguson wrote in a blog post on Huffington Post. "And then the fun began. … Only two persons who had ever dealt with Mrs. Clinton would agree to an on-camera interview, and I suspected that even they would back out."

Bullet Train is a fast pace first person shooter about defending a train full of cargo from creatures in the harsh desert. Run up and down the train fighting off tumbleweed spiders and rock titans to try and keep your cargo in prime condition. At each station you reach you will be able to buy new weapons and upgrades as well as place turrets along the side of your train. You can use the turrets yourself to get right in on the action or just sit back and let your turret army take care of some of those critters for you. This was a student project done at Full Sail University with a 2 month design and 3 month development time frame to make the game.
This is the final build of Bullet Train as it was turned into Full Sail Universities for the teams final project. Enjoy!

Save your life — and prevent diabetes — by soothing your blood sugar with this simple eight-step plan.
Exercise like it's a prescription
That means at least 20 to 30 minutes every day. It takes only a few days of missed workouts and poor eating to worsen a person's insulin resistance, says Barry Braun, Ph.D., an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. To make sure you stick with it, choose the exercise that you enjoy the most.
If you have high blood glucose
...take alpha lipoic acid. "This supplement is unexcelled as a blood-sugar nutrient and is a prescription item in Europe," says Bowden. He recommends taking 300 milligrams twice a day. Puritan's Pride Alpha Lipoic Acid is reasonably priced and passed purity tests at consumerlab.com.
Skip the sugary sports drinks
University of Massachusetts scientists recently discovered that exercising improved insulin sensitivity by 40 percent when a 500-calorie deficit was created, but produced no improvement when the burned energy was immediately replaced with mostly carbohydrates.
Invest in a glucose meter
It'll allow you to find out how specific meals, foods, and beverages affect your blood sugar. One option is the TrueTrack Smart System brand (cvs.com). Simply prick your finger 2 hours after a meal. The number shouldn't be above 139 mg/dl, and it shouldn't be below 100 or your fasting number—whichever is lower, says Keith W. Berkowitz, M.D. If you fall out of that range, you need an oral glucose-tolerance test.
Snack on pumpkin or sunflower seeds
A small handful won't impact blood sugar, and they're rich in magnesium, a mineral that fights insulin resistance, according to a 2006 study from Tufts University researchers.
Eat every 2 to 3 hours
Eating this often helps prevent drops in blood sugar, which can lead to sugar binges, says Dr. Berkowitz.
Check your meds
If you're taking a thiazide diuretic for hypertension, ask your doctor about switching to an ACE inhibitor. A 2006 Hypertension review of 59 drug trials found a "strong relationship" between low potassium levels caused by diuretics and increased blood glucose

Governors nationwide meeting on workforce training in Connecticut
STAMFORD >> The chair of the National Governors Association is appearing in Stamford for the first of three regional summits across the country on education and workforce training.
Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is scheduled to meet on Tuesday with Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who is the chair of the NGA's education and workforce committee. Other governors are expected to send representatives to the meeting, to be held at the Stamford Marriott Hotel.
A roundtable discussion is also planned to discuss what states are doing to better align education, workforce training and economic development to the needs of employers.
Malloy is expected to highlight investments made in education, pre-kindergarten through college, during his tenure as governor.
Fallin chose the issue of workforce training as her key initiative during her NGA chairmanship.

Letras de Under Arrest de Sly & Robbie
Más letras de Sly & Robbie
f/ Young MC
Don't lock me up
Well, I was kickin it on the corner somewhere out west
Lookin fly like I do because I am well dressed
When a cop stepped to me like a man possessed
And said, "Get ready to hear your rights because you're under arrest"
I told him, "Pardon me, Mr. Officer, but what's the charge?
Is it against the law to max out and live large?"
He told me, "Keep quiet, did you hear what I said?
You keep runnin your mouth, and I'ma bust your head"
So he slapped the cuffs on me behind my back
A couple of friends walked up and aksed me, "What's up, black?"
Well, I couldn't say a word, this is really a shock
Cause I was known as the good guy on the block
We rolled to the station in the black and white
Goin through stop signs and traffic lights
And I thought, this must be the good Lord's test
An innocent man found guilty, placed under arrest
Don't lock me up (3x)
When we got to the station we screeched to a halt
I said, "Whatever you think I did, my man, it ain't my fault"
I walked inside, feelin nervous and tense
When I was led downstairs for some pictures and prints
I posed from every angle, the pictures were taken
I tried to tell the cop about the mistake he was makin
But fingerprints were next, so I followed the plan
I took off my three-finger and I gave em my hand
I was real puzzled about the situation
No charge given, and no explanation
Subject to the law and its intimidation
Not to mention my own humiliation
The pieces didn't fit, it just didn't connect
Then I was told, "You're bein held as a rape suspect"
I was speechless, my head just fell to the chest
An innocent man found guilty, placed under arrest
Don't lock me up (3x)
Sittin in a jail cell, what a crazy tale, hell
Seconds seem like hours and the minutes seem like days, well
I'm tryin to keep my wits about me, but
A man that doesn't have his dignity, will soon be a nut
Now I thought you're innocent until your guilt is proven
Locked behind bars, young man ain't movin
Like a newborn chick thrown out of the nest
An innocent man found guilty, placed under arrest
So I sat in the cell, sayin, 'Why?' and 'How?'
And what would my mother say if she could see me now?
As a rape suspect, and how could it be?
Cause all the women that I slept with, wanted to sleep with me
Just then the door opened, someone else got done
To my surprise it was the brother KRS-One
He said they snatched him up from out of his crib
Pulled out the night stick and nearly busted a rib
We spoke for a minute, then our names were called
Suspects for a line-up against the wall
Where they singled out a brother who was wearin a hat
And it wasn't me or Kris, so I was happy with that
Then I thought for a second: these cops got nerve!
They got the suspect, but justice was not served
Cause they was lookin for a brother who was 5 ft. 3
Well, I'm 6 ft. 1, and Kris is taller than me
So I went to my lawyer, asked if I could sue
He said, "I'm sorry, Young, there ain't a damn thing you can do
And it's a shame what happened, it's really a sin
The guy's short and fat and you're tall and thin"
Now I couldn't help feelin like I just got jerked
And the problem is that's how the system works
Black people need justice, we continue the quest
An innocent man found guilty placed under arrrest

We split the OC part into two sections because we used PrecisionX software and EVBot overclocking device. As we said earlier, EVBot is purchased separately, one more reason to take a closer look at it. Users who don't have EVBot will have to resort to software tools, but note that we couldn't overvolt the GPU without the EVBot.
EVGA didn't mess with GPU voltage on the Classified, which means that the maximum is set at 1.175v. Nvidia cited security reasons behind its insistence on specified values, claiming that it guarantees only for cards and GPUs operated within the specified voltage limits. This means that a product will not pass "NV green light" when OVed, as it will exceed the maximum power consumption and maximum heat dissipation. This is why EVGA didn't launch an OVed Classified, but rather went for the EVBot, which can boost the voltage all the way up to 1.850v. Also warranty is not impacted by using EVBot.
Using only PrecisionX tool and not the EVBot, we overclocked the Base GPU clock by +50MHz. Although this may not seem impressive at first, the card is already overclocked to 1111MHz, making ours quite a decent result of 1161MHz (Max Boost clock at 1238MHz). It's also important to note that no two GPUs will overclock/score identically. It appears as if we weren't particularly lucky with our GPU, because we expected more. In comparison, we overclocked our GTX 680 Signature to 1185MHz.
The memory isn't overclocked, so we're talking 1502MHz (6008MHz effectively). The GTX 680 Classified comes with 4GB of memory distributed across 16 chips.
Overclocking the memory spells more bad news for the maximum GPU clock, even more so for cards packing 4GB. Memory also gets hot and consumes power, which may result in hitting maximum TDP and thermal limit faster. We'd still advise you to overclock the memory, especially if you're interested in gaming performance. In fact, increasing the bandwidth occasionally yielded bigger performance boosts than the same card with only its GPU overclocked.
4GB cards come with a realistic chance that one of the chips won't be in the "mood" for overclocking, making its clock the limitation for overclocking. The maximum memory clock without overvolting was at about 6800MHz.

The restaurant has been a favorite neighborhood hangout since the first half of the 20th Century, but complaints at a recent COP104 meeting have ruffled some feathers among residents living near the establishment and O'Neill himself.
The complaints, which were made by a group of frustrated Maspeth residents at January's meeting, indicated that patrons of O'Neill's are rude, rowdy, loud, obnoxious, and may even be responsible for the increase in vandalism throughout the area.
The residents that spoke at the meeting said that Monday night, on which O'Neill's has specials on hot wings and caters to a much younger high school and college crowd, has brought an influx of feisty youth into the area, and residents said that many of the bothersome incidents have occurred late on Monday nights.
According to O'Neill, he has not received any complaints from neighbors. He explained that he has always tried to be a good neighbor, and would be willing to discuss any issue, be it positive or negative, with anyone who lived near his restaurant.
"We've received no complaints at all," he said. "And if anyone did ever complain to us, we would ask them to take us to the property damage, show it to us, and we would try and find a way to pay for it."
A visit to O'Neill's "Wings Night" revealed a crowded restaurant packed full of teenagers and adults, but the environment was controlled and orderly. All patrons were asked for identification before being served, and the noise level in any of the establishment's many rooms was never so loud as to require shouting.
Outside of the bar, teenagers gathered to wash their spicy chicken wings down with cigarettes while waiting for rides, but even they were relatively quiet and closely watched by employees of the restaurant.
There are several signs throughout the restaurant reminding customers to be quiet and polite when coming to and from the establishment, saying "This is a residential community. Please respect our neighbors."
On Mondays, the restaurant typically gets crowded at around 7 p.m., and during the school year, clears out at around 10 p.m. During the summer, when school is out, the younger kids may stay later in the night until 11 or 12.
"Nobody is more careful about safety than me," said O'Neill.
On Monday nights, which is arguably his most crowded night, he has retired police officers drop by the bar to socialize and keep an eye on the kids.
A number of neighborhood parents are happy to send their kids to O'Neill's, as they know that they will be in a safe, friendly environment where the youngsters can socialize without alcohol.
"In most cases, the parents come with their kids the first time they visit, as chaperones," said John McDonald, the restaurant's manager. "After that, they let them come on their own."
In addition to the complaints made at the COP104 meeting, O'Neill says that his restaurant has received a few anonymous complaints regarding its patrons over the last few weeks, but the owner dismissed them due to what he described as their inflammatory and insulting nature.
"Knock on wood, but we've never had a bit of trouble here at the bar," said O'Neill. "For all the aggravation we've had lately, the one thing we can say about O'Neill's is that we have the best steak in New York City."
